This latest creation ("Shadows in the Dance") from Debi Baxter is very well written and exciting to read. The warning we would have is that it is a page turner and extremely hard to put down once you start. It would make a terrific weekend getaway book. The book gave us a warm and wonderful feeling and had an outstanding ending. The book reflects a complete understanding of its characters and their background. It is a book we highly recommend and label enjoyable.

"DANCING ALONE by author Debi Baxter is one of the most compelling books we have read in the last 10 years. Her skillful writing draws you into the book from the beginning and the heartwarming story keeps you hooked for the entire read. The depth of her characters is incredible. We both cried while reading this book and enjoyed the emotional 'ride'. DANCING ALONE can only be described as outstanding."

"Debi Baxter is a storyteller. Her first work DANCING ALONE isn't a polished statement of sophistication. Baxter will put you on an emotional roller coaster that rivals LOVE STORY in a basic grab your heart and hang on ride. A great first work! You will want another read from Baxter. I know I will."

"I have been interested in writing since my first college course in Creative Writing. In the mid 80’s I spent a lot of time writing poetry and music finding I really enjoyed expressing myself through creative writing. I always said one day I would write a book, but until two years ago I never found the time. I realized just after writing the first chapter how freeing and fulfilling it is to be able to capture on paper whatever I dare to dream."
